Stuck in the Past

Chapter 28

HENRY POV:

The confrontation between the two of us started quickly. The fact that she can copy the powers of other metahumans gave her an advantage, but I also have secret cards up my sleeve. My powers may not even be as special as hers, but I have the best combination there is.

She tried to use the powers of Vibe against me, but with the help of my super speed I was able to always deviate from her. Using my powers of ice I managed to slow her down a little, but never for long.

We were both getting tired, but a combination of the powers of Killer Frost, Vibe and Ralf overthrew me and she managed to pin me to one of the old tables in this room. She knew she couldn't handcuff me with normal handcuffs because I could just freeze them and free myself easily, so she used those that suppressed my powers.

- Now that everything is under control, it's time to give the people of Central City what they want, - she said, going to the edge of the chambers in front of the cages where my parents and Cisco were.

- Citizens of Central City, it's finally time to say goodbye to those who claim to protect our city.

While she was saying her speech, I felt a cold coming from the area of ​​my wrists and as soon as I looked behind me, I saw the handcuffs freeze. I knew it was not me who was doing it and as soon as I looked at my mother I noticed that her concentration was all over me and in freezing my handcuffs so that I could break free.

Before I managed to break free, I saw a red light coming towards us. For a moment I thought it was one of her friends, who came to enjoy the moment, but when I saw her confused face, I realized that it was to save us.

She turned off the camera and put all her attention on me and the figure that was beside me, who was neither more nor less than Dawn. Together, we use our powers to finally defeat her. Dawn started running around the girl while I was going to release my uncle Ralf.

As soon as Dawn stopped, Ralf used his elasticity to hold her in his arms. We all knew that she could break free quickly, so our next step would have to be done quickly.

Dawn started running around her again, while Killer Frost and I pooled our ice powers to freeze them long enough to put on the handcuffs to suppress the powers. Our last step was to free our parents and our uncle Cisco.

"How did you know where we were?" I asked Dawn, as I regained my strength.

- Did you really think I didn't discover something was going on? Henry I know you and besides, on all the screens in the city they were broadcasting her live. After picking up Ronnie, I went to STAR Labs and Uncle Harry told me where you were. I took one of the father's old suits and came here.

- I'm glad you did. I don't know what I would do without you sis .- I said hugging her.

"Are you all right?" Asked our father, coming to us.

"And to think I could lose you," said my mother, hugging Dawn.

We picked up the girl and went to STAR Labs where my father and Uncle Ralf took her to the metahuman prison. My mother asked Harry to help her with an important task. In the same way that the girl made her plans known to the entire city, we did the same to demonstrate that the Central City heroes were safe and ready to save the city when necessary.

Joe entered the lab shortly after, wanting to know how they were really doing. Although we were all well, we were very tired, so we gave today as finished and went to our home.

According to Joe tomorrow would be an important day, as his friend was going to talk to my parents about the Ronnie adoption process. As soon as we got home, we went to take a shower and after that we all met again in the living room to watch some television.

None of us had the head to cook anything, so we went to the chest and took out some pizzas and opened a bag of chips. At the end of dinner and after the kitchen was tidied and the dishes washed and in the appropriate places, each of us went to his room to rest.

So that my parents could rest, which they well deserved after the exhausting afternoon they had, I volunteered to read Ronnie's story. After making sure he was asleep, I went upstairs to my bed and laid my head on my pillow, falling asleep quickly.

As today I only had to go to the CCPD in the afternoon, I was able to wake up a little later than usual. I looked at the clock and it was ten thirty in the morning, so I got up and went down the stairs towards the kitchen.

On the table was a note from my mother that told me to have a good day at work and to say that she adored me. On the table was a plate, cutlery and a glass for me, so I could have breakfast.

I went to the fridge, took the orange juice and filled the glass. Then I took a package of chocolate chip cookies and instead of eating in the kitchen, in silence, I went into the living room, turning on the television.

It was almost time for lunch and as I had agreed to go to lunch with Amy, I decided it was best to go get dressed. Unlike me, while I only worked in the afternoon today, Amy had a free afternoon, so we weren't going to meet at CCPD.

It was only five minutes to the agreed time, so I decided to leave the house, since with my super speed it took only a few seconds to get anywhere. As soon as she arrived at my side, she managed to convince me that today we were going to have lunch at a hamburger store that opened a short time ago and was close to the CCPD.

We got inside and noticed that there weren't even many people, which meant that we would be more easily served. After looking at the menu, we ordered our food, and I ordered a chicken burger, with fries and rice, while Amy ordered a pork, with rice and salad.

We spent the whole lunch talking about random things and when we finished eating, we went to pay for what we consume. We still managed to go for a short walk through the park closer to the hamburger shop, but the time for me to go to the CCPD was coming and that meant I would have to say goodbye to her.

As soon as I joined the CCPD, I already had detectives who came to me asking me to do some analysis of the evidence they had collected from various crime scenes. I see this is going to be a long afternoon!
